Voices in CME-CPD
The 16th Annual European CME Forum took place from 8–10 November 2023 at Hotel NH Den Haag, The Hague, The Netherlands.
The theme of this year's meeting was "Voices in CME-CPD", which we addressed from three angles. We looked at external voices in CME-CPD, including the many groups and organisations that can help support us when designing, developing or delivering CME, which overlapped nicely with the theme of this year's Journal of CME Special Collection. We also examined our own, internal voices and how we can learn from and support each other. The third part looked at how we need to listen to each other and how we can come together to work more collaboratively in European and global CME-CPD. We aimed to unravel who is calling for what by way of quality and independence, identify the decision-makers and influencers, and to work out who is listening, to whom and to what!
